The New York Mets could promote Steven Matz within the next three weeks, according to a source.

The left-hander leads the Pacific Coast League with a 1.94 ERA. It had been reported that the Mets planned to bring Matz to the Major Leagues in July.

The Mets will promote Matz to start. They may have to wait for a trade or injury to open up a spot in the rotation. New York has been open to trading Jonathon Niese and/or Dillon Gee for quite some time.
